Body RepairsYou

[skymera]

Anyone know any good body repair shops?
Long story short: New wheels last year, impatience led me to ruin my car with a jack handle.

The bodywork on my K11 is being sorted and I'd rather pay someone to do it and do a fairly decent job.

Here's the damage:
-Drivers side rear quarter isn't TOO bad, just a big dent mainly and a smaller dent towards the rear.
-Passenger side is pretty bad, no real dent as such, it's just all wavy...

Here's some hi-res pics:

So what do you think it'll cost to put right at a bodyshop? Without paint, just primer or something.

I have a friend who is very good with rolling/welding/most things and he's offered to do it. Just hope it's not beyond repair!

No suggestions?

No flames for me being a complete tool!?

Not even a "you've ruined your car, deal with it!"?

I don't think you're a tool..I've ruined my paintwork, <_<
...besides...Could be worse...could be full of rust holes ^_^
I'm gonna be calling up a couple of places near me for quotes tomorrow, but I can't suggest anyone as I've never had work done...
I'm going through the Yellow pages and checking out the companies portfolio of work on their websites

If your mate can sort the arches for you then go for it

I have seen some of those "mobile" bodywork repair guys do a panel for £100 ?... aparently?

JDM arches!?

Always an option I suppose.

I did want to salvage what I have got though. Yet to send these pics to my friend and hear his verdict.

Bonded on JDM arches so if you change your mind they can be removed...

The whole pannel looks distorted. Never go,n to be cheap to sort that..
Are new rear quarters an option?
